| Dear uplands Chester's favorable fields | B |
| My large unjealous Loves many yet one | C |
| A grave good morrow to your Graces all | D |
| Fair tilth and fruitful seasons | E |
| Lo how still | F |
| The midmorn empties you of men save me | G |
| Speak to your lover meadows None can hear | H |
| I lie as lies yon placid Brandywine | I |
| Holding the hills and heavens in my heart | J |
| For contemplation | C |
| 'Tis a perfect hour | K |
| From founts of dawn the fluent autumn day | L |
| Has rippled as a brook right pleasantly | G |
| Half way to noon but now with widening turn | M |
| Makes pause in lucent meditation locked | N |
| And rounds into a silver pool of morn | O |
| Bottom'd with clover fields My heart just hears | P |
| Eight lingering strokes of some far village bell | Q |
| That speak the hour so inward voiced meseems | P |
| Time's conscience has but whispered him eight hints | P |
| Of revolution Reigns that mild surcease | P |
| That stills the middle of each rural morn | O |
| When nimble noises that with sunrise ran | R |
| About the farms have sunk again to rest | S |
| When Tom no more across the horse lot calls | P |
| To sleepy Dick nor Dick husk voiced upbraids | P |
| The sway back'd roan for stamping on his foot | T |
| With sulphurous oath and kick in flank what time | U |
| The cart chain clinks across the slanting shaft | V |
| And kitchenward the rattling bucket plumps | P |
| Souse down the well where quivering ducks quack loud | W |
| And Susan Cook is singing | X |
| Up the sky | Y |
| The hesitating moon slow trembles on | Z |
| Faint as a new washed soul but lately up | A2 |
| From out a buried body Far about | B2 |
| A hundred slopes in hundred fantasies | P |
| Most ravishingly run so smooth of curve | C2 |
| That I but seem to see the fluent plain | D2 |
| Rise toward a rain of clover blooms as lakes | P |
| Pout gentle mounds of plashment up to meet | E2 |
| Big shower drops Now the little winds as bees | P |
| Bowing the blooms come wandering where I lie | Y |
| Mixt soul and body with the clover tufts | P |
| Light on my spirit give from wing and thigh | Y |
| Rich pollens and divine sweet irritants | P |
| To every nerve and freshly make report | F2 |
| Of inmost Nature's secret autumn thought | G2 |
| Unto some soul of sense within my frame | H2 |
| That owns each cognizance of the outlying five | I2 |
| And sees hears tastes smells touches all in one | C |

| Tell me dear Clover since my soul is thine | I |
| Since I am fain give study all the day | L |
| To make thy ways my ways thy service mine | I |
| To seek me out thy God my God to be | G |
| And die from out myself to live in thee | G |
| Now Cousin Clover tell me in mine ear | H |
| Go'st thou to market with thy pink and green | J2 |
| Of what avail this color and this grace | P |
| Wert thou but squat of stem and brindle brown | K2 |
| Still careless herds would feed A poet thou | L2 |
| What worth what worth the whole of all thine art | J |
| Three Leaves instruct me I am sick of price | P |
| Framed in the arching of two clover stems | P |
| Where through I gaze from off my hill afar | M2 |
| The spacious fields from me to Heaven take on | Z |
| Tremors of change and new significance | P |
| To th' eye as to the ear a simple tale | N2 |
| Begins to hint a parable's sense beneath | O2 |
| The prospect widens cuts all bounds of blue | P2 |
| Where horizontal limits bend and spreads | P |
| Into a curious hill'd and curious valley'd Vast | Q2 |
| Endless before behind around which seems | P |
| Th' incalculable Up and Down of Time | U |
| Made plain before mine eyes The clover stems | P |
| Still cover all the space but now they bear | R2 |
| For clover blooms fair stately heads of men | S2 |
| With poets' faces heartsome dear and pale | N2 |
| Sweet visages of all the souls of time | U |
| Whose loving service to the world has been | T2 |
| In the artist's way expressed and bodied Oh | U2 |
| In arms' reach here be Dante Keats Chopin | R |
| Raphael Lucretius Omar Angelo | U2 |
| Beethoven Chaucer Schubert Shakespeare Bach | V2 |
| And Buddha sweetest masters Let me lay | L |
| These arms this once this humble once about | B2 |
| Your reverend necks the most containing clasp | W2 |
| For all in all this world e'er saw and there | R2 |
| Yet further on bright throngs unnamable | L |
| Of workers worshipful nobilities | P |
| In the Court of Gentle Service silent men | S2 |
| Dwellers in woods brooders on helpful art | J |
| And all the press of them the fair the large | X2 |
| That wrought with beauty | G |
| Lo what bulk is here | H |
| Now comes the Course of things shaped like an Ox | P |
| Slow browsing o'er my hillside ponderously | L |
| The huge brawned tame and workful Course of things | P |
| That hath his grass if earth be round or flat | Y2 |
| And hath his grass if empires plunge in pain | D2 |
| Or faiths flash out This cool unasking Ox | P |
| Comes browsing o'er my hills and vales of Time | U |
| And thrusts me out his tongue and curls it sharp | Z2 |
| And sicklewise about my poets' heads | P |
| And twists them in all Dante Keats Chopin | R |
| Raphael Lucretius Omar Angelo | L |
| Beethoven Chaucer Schubert Shakespeare Bach | V2 |
| And Buddha in one sheaf and champs and chews | P |
| With slantly churning jaws and swallows down | K2 |
| Then slowly plants a mighty forefoot out | B2 |
| And makes advance to futureward one inch | A3 |
| So they have played their part | J |
| And to this end | B3 |
| This God This troublous breeding Earth This Sun | C |
| Of hot quick pains To this no end that ends | P |
| These Masters wrought and wept and sweated blood | C3 |
| And burned and loved and ached with public shame | H2 |
| And found no friends to breathe their loves to save | D3 |
| Woods and wet pillows This was all This Ox | P |
| Nay quoth a sum of voices in mine ear | H |
| God's clover we and feed His Course of things | P |
| The pasture is God's pasture systems strange | E3 |
| Of food and fiberment He hath whereby | Y |
| The general brawn is built for plans of His | P |
| To quality precise Kinsman learn this | P |
| The artist's market is the heart of man | R |
| The artist's price some little good of man | R |
| Tease not thy vision with vain search for ends | P |
| The End of Means is art that works by love | F3 |
| The End of Ends in God's Beginning's lost | G3 |
